we better pray to the lords that this fungus doesn't evolve to affect human beings

Sacculina carcini.

im gonna do a web search, is it the worm that get inside a snail's eyes?

nevermind its a barnacle crab parasite that fucks up the genitalia

>>5010792
thanks a bunch dude, now im thinking about making a spongebob parody where mr. krabs gets affected by a sacculina carcini.

By the time it evolve onto primates we won't even be humans anymore. And it has no reason to evolve so when its current niche is profitable.

What if a mutation leads to them evolving the Faustian spirit?

>>5012741
will never happen to mammals

>castrates the host so that the freed up energy can be used to feed the parasite
Modern economy huh...

Basically any parasitoid wasp (since they were the original basis for the xenomorph life cycle)

Only difference is parasitoid wasps take it a step up and can mind-control the host so that it gives care to the parasitic offspring. (Not in picrel, tarantula hawks are still much scarier to tarantulas than tarantulas are to human women)

Not only do they develop entire viruses to neutralize the host's defense system and brainwash them to care for the cocoons, but usually one or two of the larvae will remain inside the host as a further precaution and sacrifice itself to ensure the rest of their siblings make it out unharmed by the host or anything that tried to come into contact with it.

Forgot the name but that fly that lays eggs inside frog nostrils and the maggots eat the frog's sinuses from the inside and the frog can't do anything about it

Entomophthora Muscae. Infects the fly and eats around the organs until it builds up, then glues the fly down, kills it, and releases both spores and a mating pheromone. The pheromone makes other flies try to fuck the corpse, gluing them on by the cock and infecting them too.

I guarantee a bio lab is engineering these things to attack human brains somewhere
